But individuals go to jail. The way the bill is constructed. the individual who would be going to jail would be the person who actually does the hiring. the road construction foreman. the high school principal. the manager of the dry cleaners. Any hint. it seems to me. any hint of jail time or criminal penalties or criminal charges for making a mistake. for making a mistake in the hiring of someone as to whether or not they are eligible to be hired is something that will so chill a manager or someone at the hiring level that they would choose not to make a mistake and they will not consider anyone who appears to be foreign born. Now. there is no antidiscrimination provision in this bill. or could ever be written into a bill that could overcome that fear of criminal charges that could be brought. The person who does the hiring is liable for the criminal charges. not the corporation. not the employer.
